thats cool. yea rosea grow slow. when they are adult, it takes 2-3 years between molts. hows your P. murinus act? my 4 are almost impossible to open up. whenever i even walk close to them, they run to the top of their webbing, flip upside down, and assume the position.

love the p. regalis! i have a few inverts. 4 two year old g. rosea. they grow terribly slow, haha! also have a female p. murinus. the only true spider i keep is a kukulcania hibernalis. nothing fancy, but i like them

she's not that bad at all. i made her a little cave out of an egg flat that she stays in. the opening and the tunnel inside is probably about the size of a golf ball... maybe a little bigger. i don't see her often. when she's out, i know it's feeding time! when i open the lid she just retreats to her cave. i'll drop the roach in and she'll come back out like lightning to snatch it up! the only time she's aggressive is when i go in with a paint brush to remove her. she'll attack it all day long

Load away? right. That's a load. Thanks.

Okay. Now a question. Why a garter snake? Don't take that wrong. I think it's a great choice but not one most people with your keeping background makes.

I started of with tatantulas in the mid 90's and still occasionaly keep them, depending on what it is. I also love Latrodectus and Scolopendra!...watch them fingers!
I also did some of the earliest U.S. breedings of some Theraphosid species...geniculata, hirsutum, fimbriatus, Euathus sp. yellow etc.

when i was more involved it was a big deal to breed anything, now everything is being bred....successfully. I wanted to breed Scolopendra SO BAD...didnt even know where to begin...and people are now doing it...thats awesome! If come across any cool Latrodectus let me know John...or any Lady Birds...those are rare but so cool
